Estimate
Lots of blackberry and cherry character with hints of spices. Plummy. Full body, with super velvety tannins. The finish is juicy and pleasantly chewy. Lovely austerity.
...feminine and delicate...with fragrant floral tones and bright fruit to distinguish it...subtle and strong at the same time with a medium build and impressive staying power...silky, polished tannins.
Spices, red cherries, new leather and tobacco all waft from the glass...sensual, layered and generous.
...elegant, expressive red is packed with sweet cherry and strawberry fruit, with leather and spice flavors... Long and detailed on the finish.
...balsamic aromas of resin, menthol and truffle...concentrated and backward... Finishes with dusty, building tannins...
Aromas of camphor, underbrush, crushed herb and iris come together in the glass. The brawny, concentrated palate shows the heat of the vintage, offering cherry marinated in spirits, prune, licorice and baking spice framed in assertive, close-grained tannins that grip the finish.
Fragrant with leafy undergrowth. Very sweet charming start.
